Pakistani women still unaware of breast cancer risk
Breast cancer is a disease that affects women all around the world. One in eight women in the U.S. has the disease, one out of 10 in Europe, and one out of 11 in Australia. In Pakistan, the ratio is three in 10.
Earlier this week, as part of October’s international breast cancer awareness month, leaders from Liaquat National Hospital in Pakistan addressed the issue and their concern over why so many Pakistani women are still unaware of the disease, according to the Daily Times.
